Sharpe's Rifles

1809. The French are winning the war in Spain and Britain's forces are retreating towards Corunna, with Napoleon's armies in pursuit. Sharpe and a detachment of Riflemen are cut off from the British army and surrounded by troops. Sharpe hopes to join the British outpost in Lisbon but is waylaid by a Spanish major of cavalry into helping him pull off a "miracle." The noble Major Vivar means to raise the flag of Spain's patron saint over Santiago de Compostela, now in French hands, as a sign that Spain will not be defeated.
